This month begins a
new eclipse season. We will have two eclipses very soon, a lunar
eclipse on June 26 in Capricorn (full moon) and the other will arrive as
a solar eclipse in Cancer (new moon) on July 11.
If you haven't read
Susan Miller's June 2010 forecast on Astrology Zone, please do, for the
first eclipse that is arriving this month might turn out to be quite
intense for the world. If you are within a certain mathematical range,
you might feel the eclipse in a more personal way.
Eclipses aren't
like any other phenomenon in astrology. They strike quickly and in
unusual ways. Often the catalyst to change is triggered by an outside
event that has nothing to do with you or anything you did, but that will
come in and change certain elements in your life anyway. I feel it's
the universe's way to keep us on our toes and flexible. Also, eclipses
look for broken or outdated situations to sweep away to help you make
room for the new. Some eclipses are shocking or jarring and others are
harbingers of good news.
The coming June 26 eclipse will have an
especially strong impact because Uranus will be in sharp angle to the
full moon eclipse and Sun. Also, Saturn will oppose Uranus and Jupiter,
while Pluto will conjoin the full moon and argue with the other planets.
All will square off at 90 degrees to each other, or stare at one
another at 180 degrees, forming a cross pattern in the sky - this is
considered stressful.
We have not seen such an extreme eclipse in
years. Actually, astrologers have gone back 500 years and we have not
been able to find anything like the one that is due June 26. Let me
reiterate that not everyone will feel the events of June 26, and that is
an important point. Please check my June report to see if you might
feel some changes. I always feel it is best to know something may come
up, so that I can have a flexible schedule to respond to any event that I
might have to decide upon.
Events that come up as a result of an
eclipse have more weight than events brought on by a normal new or full
moon. In fact, an eclipse is like a turbo-new or full moon - it packs
much more energy and punch and feels like three rolled into one. An
eclipse may even bring on an event that seems "fated." Eclipses always
bring unexpected changes of direction.
The eclipse does not have
to fall in your sign to affect you, but it would have to be within a
ten-degree range of a natal planet in your chart. In this case you would
need a natal planet within ten degrees of 5 degrees of a cardinal sign:
Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn. I can't see your chart from here,
so it's just wise to wait and see. With Uranus so prominent, what comes
up will be completely unexpected anyway, coming out of left field, but I
can narrow things down for you.
Eclipses in the same family of
signs tend to be connected like pearls on a necklace. It is as though
the universe realizes that we can't handle too much big news all at
once, so it is divided up into pieces. We are given news of something
that is changing or needs to be changed, but further information does
not come until the next eclipse, at which time we are ready to move
forward.
For this reason, think back to what occurred on December
31 and just after January 15 for clues, for those were the last times we
had eclipses in this family of signs.
Eclipses shine the bright
light of truth on the part of your life that is touched by the eclipse.
Most of the time, eclipses act as brilliant illuminators, revealing a
condition that you were unaware existed. They can also act as catalysts
to a major life decision. Also under an eclipse, you may finally
understand the true character of a person near you.
With all
eclipses, something ends and something else begins. During an eclipse
period, you may feel like you are walking across a bridge to a new place
of the mind and heart, but with no ability to turn back to where you
started. Said another way, the door of part of your old life will slam
shut and lock tightly behind you as you walk over the threshold. You
won't be able to go back to your old life after the eclipse, but upon
reflection, you might not want to anymore. You have grown, and now you
are ready to face the future with all the surprises and gifts the
universe will have ready for you. Armed with the necessary facts, you
will now understand a mystery that was never clear to you before. The
universe wants us to embrace all that is new, not go back to the old
tried and true.
In about six months, we will have another set of
eclipses coming on December 21, a total lunar eclipse (full moon) in
late degrees of Gemini and on January 4, 2011, a solar eclipse (new
moon) in Capricorn. The December 21 eclipse will begin to usher in a new
series of eclipses in Gemini-Sagittarius, just as the old series of
Cancer-Capricorn, begun last summer on June 7, 2009, begins to wind down
and officially end on July 1, 2011. Often when a new family of signs
starts up, an old family of signs ends.
